The teams will consider a third Friday practice session exclusively for young drivers prior to the current two sessions which take place.
That is the proposal put forward for 2012 in a bid to re-introduce some form of testing without the demanding costs which come from exclusive three-day tests the sport had in the past.
Renault team principal and deputy chairman of FOTA, Eric Boullier, revealed the proposal, which would allow young drivers to gain experience during a 30-minute session on Friday mornings, in addition to the current two practice sessions.
“We should not go back to what we had, but in between there is a compromise,” he told Motorsport-Total. “We have proposed to have a short, extra session on Friday in which young drivers are used.
“It should be a separate test session for which a separate set of tyres is available,” added the Frenchman.
